Study on patient compensation

[Amy Ma]

I am reaching out on behalf of the Horizon Health Network (HHN), Maritime SPOR Support Unit (MSSU), and University of New Brunswick – Centre for Research and Integrated Care (CRIC), for your assistance in sharing information about the research project on the Compensation-Related Barriers and Facilitators to Patient Engagement in Canadian Academic Health Research.

We ask if you are willing to spread the word about the study to potential participants. We want to know their experiences with what works and what does not work for compensating patient partners, and how this affects inclusion. It is very important that we hear from a wide range of individuals in the following fields:
Health researchers
Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) staff
Administration & finance staff at universities across Canada

Patient partners in academic health research
Individuals who fit the criteria above may complete a pre-screening survey to determine their eligibility to participate in the virtual focus group or interview for the study.

Contact Sam to participate: Samantha.Fowler@HorizonNB.ca or (506) 566-2728

Please let us know if you require any accommodations to participate.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Samantha.Fowler@HorizonNB.ca or (506) 566-2728. If this email is better suited to someone else in your community, or if you would like to share this with another organization, please feel free to forward this along or let me know and I will reach out to them.

This study has been reviewed by the research ethics boards at the University of New Brunswick (File# 2023-037) and Horizon Health Network (File# 2023-3217)
